I can’t speak for all Canadians, but I can speak for myself. I WILL spend more if I know the product is from Canada.

We need new labels: Who is profiting from this product???
Agreed. Now, is the flour I’m buying that says “Product of Canada” actually a product of Canada?? I’m finding that “Product of Canada” doesn’t actually mean Canada is getting the profits…
Agreed. But when a package says: Product of Canada, and then I find out the profits are actually going to the USA?? WTF?
Thank you to all for the education. So, “Product of Canada”, might be owned by Americans? How can Canadians tell the difference??
Ok then. Just did some research. WTF?? So, Product of Canada does NOT mean what we think. I think we need new guidelines: Product of Canada needs to mean: Canadian Company. And, thank you to all for the education! Most appreciated!
Yes! Yikes, I stand corrected. All but Pearl Milling said Product of USA. Thank you for the correction!
This picture was taken in “No Frills” today. The only box that said Product of Canada was Pearl Milling. All the other brands said Product of USA.
I was in “No Frills” today. All but Pearl Milling said Product of Canada. One of them said “Packaged in Canada”, but still said, “Product of USA”.

12·10 days agoAs a Canadian, I completely understand that. And I 100% sympathize with the American population that does not support him. However, in a country where a “leader” who is “democratically” elected becomes the figurehead of that country, it becomes very difficult to separate “him” from the American population. In the world’s eyes, “him” is the U.S.A. So, when we see “him” wanting to make Canada the 51st state, “him” thinking he is entitled to Greenland, “him” trying to cripple Cuba, “him” deciding Americans should be in charge of the Strait of Hormuz, it’s kinda’ hard to look at the US and say, “yah, but that’s not the American people, that’s just “him”… Unfortunately for you, He IS the American people. You have my sympathies.

1·1 month agoWikipedia doesn’t have a lot of info. Chatgpt rundown: A single large AI data center can use millions of litres of water per day for cooling during hot weather. Some facilities use little or no water if they rely primarily on air cooling instead. Training a large AI model may indirectly consume millions of litres of water over the course of training. This includes water used directly for cooling servers and indirectly at power plants that generate the electricity used. There’s more, but also: Electricity generation: In many regions, power plants also use water for cooling, so electricity consumption can add to water use indirectly. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY TRUMP WANTS CANADA: No 4 of most water in the world. AND WHY TRUMP BACKED JAIR BOLSONARO, THE FASCIST PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL: No 1 most water in the world. Also, Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, was sentenced to 27 years in prison for his involvement in a coup attempt that sought to undermine Brazil’s democratic institutions. VIVA Brazil!!!

1·1 month agoTo the people of Spain and France: My heart goes out to you. As a British Columbian, we, too, are struggling with the same fire battles and devastation. Added to our fire challenges, is a “neighbour” that is threatening us at every turn, including: “threatening new tariffs over wildfire smoke drifting south of the border.”
